    If he beats him rematches him and wins again then beats martinez at 154 and khan he will be top 15-20 IMO. Maybe like 11, 12 depends on how he wins i guess. If he stayed active easy top 10, his hands would have got ****ed though.

    Just beating pac = top 25-30 IMO.

    Boxing has been going for a long time, there is a vast list of ATG's.....as much as i like Floyd he will never get near the top of the list.

    I know, mate. I wasn't having a go and saying Floyd ducked these people. Just saying who he could have conceivably fought to be considered GOAT but obviously they didn't come off for various different reasons.

    Pity some of these fights didn't come of though. Some potentially very interesting fights in there.

    add a Khan, Bradley/sergio to his list, he would be easily top 10!

    No I'd put him close to the top 10, like 11 or 12 or so. If he beats Sergio and Pac then top 10.

    Top 20.

    Floyd is probably the most skilled fighter of our time. That should be reflected in his ATG rating.

    It amazes me how 9 out of 10 all-time great lists consists of nothing but older generation fighters, like every fighter from the 90's on weren't and are not ****, I've never seen any footage of a lot of those on the video of that dudes top ten and some of the footage I have seen I wasnt that impressed...

    It's surprising how all these white fighters in these lower weights back in the day are considered all time greats but there isn't one of the past 40 years that would even be considered a hofer, I'm not racist I'm just telling it like it is...

    Floyd skills are great but you cant judge those skills on a GOAT list only way to do that is get in the ring the older boxers set the standards pretty high and because of the Arum Mayweather controversy he miseed alot of career defining opertunities.

    Khan and Bradley wouldn't do all that much for his all time ranking.

    Pacquiao and Martinez are the legacy fights.

    Of course not. It would do wonders for his legacy though.
